There’s always that one outfit that makes you feel like Beyoncé when she marched the stage for the Super Bowl 2013 Halftime Show, and the other one that gives a Cinderella vibe…before her fairy godmother gave her a makeover.

Like it or not, clothes have a way of influencing mood and behavior. This is why putting on your favorite dress for that special meeting somehow makes you feel comfortable in your skin and ready to take over the world!

Whether you are dressing up for an important business pitch or a quick fix at a local café, your sartorial choices affect how you carry yourself. And you know what they say: confidence is the best outfit a woman can wear. Here are some styling tips and tricks to nail power dressing.

Don’t Ditch Comfort for Aesthetics

Yes, that skimpy and itchy faux fur top looks totally cute but you need to put it down. Instead of picking clothes according to trends, find pieces that will make you feel comfortable and relaxed. Otherwise, wearing them will only make you constantly on the edge – easily ruining your vibe.

The trick is you must know your comfort level. Assess if you prefer, say, sweetheart necklines over turtlenecks, wide leg trousers over skinnies, faux fur over knits, or a cotton cap sleeve tee over a linen top. No matter your choice, what’s important is you feel comfortable and confident before and after you walk out the door. Nothing can trample your confidence more than an itchy top or super tight shoes, right?

Explore Your Colors

There’s nothing wrong with living in blacks or muted hues. Question is: are they the right wardrobe tone for you? It’s no breaking news, but the right clothing color can make you stand out from the crowd and amplify your confidence.

For starters, know your skin tone. Having golden undertones puts you on the warm skin tone group, while pink and rosy undertones place you on the cool skin tone class. Going for yellow-based shades is recommended if you have a warm skin tone. Meanwhile, blue-undertone hues suit best if you have a cool skin tone.

Aside from flattering your look, colors can also affect your mood. For instance, clothes with an unapologetically brighter palette can put you in bright spirits and enhance your confidence.

Find Your Fit

Accessories are like cherries on top of your outfits. A belt, tassel earrings, and your statement mules, for instance, can set a simple tee and denim combo rocking and wake up the laid-back chic in you. Sunglasses on top of oversized blazers and tapered trousers? This lady-boss look is a case in point!

There is no one-size-fits-all rule in choosing the best power outfit, but with the right mixing and matching, you’ll be ready to rock that power dress in no time. Don’t be afraid to experiment with styles and put on pieces that speak your energy and personality. Think about the best version of yourself. Then, start showing up as her.
